Juxtaposition

Definition: Simply stated, juxtaposition means placing things side-by-side. In art this usually is done with the intention of bringing out a specific quality or creating an effect, particularly when two contrasting or opposing elements are used. The viewer's attention is drawn to the similarities or differences between the elements.

Juxtaposition is a creative way to combine two unrelated concepts or objects and can result in some fun designs, images, logos and collages. We can choose from a whole range of mediums such as paper, computer art, fabric, different paints…… the list is endless. Let’s see some of the art of juxtaposition. Have fun with it.



here we can an uncanny resemblance with the flower and the gun. both of the graphic blend well with each other but at the same time its not related at all. However we can see that the two objects that are not closely related and have different meaning in more than one civilize opinion. overall we can see the wonders of juxtaposition to certain objects that may create conflict. Furthermore its the matter of having said that art is an subjective make it works wonders.



Same apply to this as we see coca cola try to impress public with different technique to win their customers by expressing the other part of coca cola that represent the world and culture surrounding. They have a lot of respect towards other people culture and use different approach to ensure that when they are trying to convey a message suing different kind of unrelated object it will be an eye catchy and people will see the soft part of coca cola contributing to their culture.

The more obvious form of Juxtaposition is from the animated Disney cartoon Beauty and the Beast. It really work as God have created that each individual have their own destiny and regardless of looks and appearance it actually the opposite attract that counts in this case. Furthermore we can see the Beauty of it. beauty and the best are not even closely related however they turn out to be wonders.



*Timeless classic by Disney that thought us to be more grateful, respect and accept each other as God have reasons to create us in this world.
